[1.7.10] Growing Trees Mod Download

The main goal of Growing Trees Mod is create more dynamic, aesthetic, fun and natural looking trees while respecting the Minecraft graphic stylization and enforcing a narrow project scope that keeps things simple.

Features:

A growing tree is a multi-block structure of rooty soil, branches, and leaves blocks that has many advances over the Vanilla Minecraft tree structures.

The formation of the tree starts with a seed. This seed is either planted by hand much like a Vanilla sapling or the seed has a chance of planting itself if left on the ground in a suitable location.

The tree then grows from a sapling, slowly increasing it’s size over time, into a full sized tree.

The tree can then be chopped down at it’s base and all of the wood claimed at once.

Seeds:

Take the place of vanilla saplings.

Are dropped from tree branches slowly and at random.

Have a chance of self planting if setting on a dirt/grass/podzol block and has a clear view of the sky above it.

Automatic fertilizers, detectors, or any kind of machine for interacting with the tree

I’m not suggesting that these are bad ideas or wouldn’t be fun but they are indeed outside the scope of what this project is meant to accomplish. Those wishing to implement out of scope features are welcome to do so in a separate mod. Popular mods tend to experience scope creep and featuritis. Ultimately, you end up with jet packs, metal ore trees, nyan cats, flaming super death cactus swords, and 15 kinds of creepers. I won’t have it. If you ignore this list and leave a comment asking for anything in the out of scope list, you will be ignored. Have fun talking to yourself.
